As the superstars continued to withdraw from the Team USA squad, the requests from fans for refunds flooded in.

But until the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) stepped in, fans were left without the option of getting their cash back.

On the Thursday however that all changed with the consumer watchdog confirming refunds were being made to ticketholders.

DEVELOPING - The @acccgovau has confirmed that the promoter of tonight's @BasketballAus v @usabasketball (@TEG_Live) has begun making refunds to ticket-holders, after concerns that the advertising for the event was misleading, by showing players who are not taking part (1/2).

The ACCC will continued to investigate after original posters advertising the event featured the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. @9NewsMelb had previously been told that refunds would not be offered by a spokesperson for the @TEG_Live. 2/2
